I live up the block so it’s perfect for me when I walk to the dog park meet new people and learn some history
Read more about Heritage Trails Of Conference House ParkHiking Trail Reviews Thompson County Park Trails - 4.4 Miles Trailhead was very easy to find and accessible. The parking lot was large and spacious and there are many other points you can park and access this trail. Trail is paved and very easy. This is more of a park walk than a hike but it was lovely. Great views and very safe. Would highly suggest stopping by if you are in the area.
Read more about Thompson ParkLove this park. We actually drive an hour to get here because our dog loves the stream and muddy banks. Not fully fenced but it’s so large that we’ve not had an issue.
Read more about Duke's Dog Run at Freedom ParkThis is such a beautiful park! They have plenty of free parking and nice, clean restrooms right by the playground. There are lots of open spaces and walking trails, and it's super dog-friendly, especially the beach area southeast of the pagodas. My partner, my dog, and I had a fantastic time walking all over the place. We visited in May, and the water was already really warm and inviting. We saw lots of people training their dogs on the beach, which was cool to watch. Just a quick tip: be careful if you go barefoot, as there are lots of tiny shells! This is definitely a fun spot, and we're already looking forward to stopping by again next summer!
